How do i do it all the way to world lvl 1 because i can only go down one lvl

1 Seraphinaover 2 years

Wow.. to think I actually stopped playing this around 1.2 precisely because the world level thing got to be so much of a hassle for trying to bring in new heroes. You'd get someone nice in gacha only to bench them forever until you farmed up their materials and doing that meant you weren't focused on getting new or better gear for your main heroes. It just felt stagnant. If I had known this change happened I would have already been back. RIP my last 6 months.
